Pallet Designer - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Every new product on a palletizing line usually means days of robot teaching and PLC programming. Pallet Designer removes that step. The integrator or the plant's own engineer designs the layer pattern visually, and the move-planning algorithm works out the complete robot sequence by itself: which cases the gripper picks together, where the gripper goes, the approach direction and the placing order, avoiding collisions with already placed cases and station obstacles.

The finished configuration goes straight to the machine as ready-to-load data, with ready-made function blocks and HMI screens for Siemens PLC/HMI, or as CSV/JSON for other control systems. A PDF document is generated for every layout.

What you can do with it:

- Optimize a layer pattern automatically for the maximum number of cases, with interlocked layers for a stable stack

- Build pallet stacks and mixed-product pallets with several product variants

- Check feasibility and safety of a layout before it reaches the machine

- See the pallet in 3D before the first case is placed

- Let the end customer's operators create new layouts themselves, within limits set by the integrator

Pallet Designer works for palletizing and depalletizing and is used by automation integrators, PLC/HMI and robot programmers, process engineers and packaging engineers.
